The New Age of Building with AI

The last two years have completely redefined how we build software. AI has moved from being a sidekick for writing snippets of code to becoming the backbone of entire product development workflows. What once took weeks of design, frontend setup, and backend configuration can now be assembled in minutes — thanks to AI-native developer tools.

And the biggest shift just landed: OpenAI’s new agent framework — a system that lets you build, validate, and deploy conversational flows and working app prototypes right inside ChatGPT. No separate IDE. No heavy stack setup. Just natural language, context, and the magic of reasoning engines behind the scenes.

From Idea to MVP in 15 Minutes

I recently tested this by building a simple beta for a hypothetical product idea — a “habit accountability” app. Instead of spinning up a new repo, I used ChatGPT’s Agent + ChatKit combo to design, build, and test the flow.
